MOTOROLA
Exception handler. A software routine that executes when an exception is
taken. Normally, the exception handler corrects the condition that
caused the exception, or performs some other meaningful task (that
may include aborting the program that caused the exception). The
address for each exception handler is identiÞed by an exception
vector offset deÞned by the architecture and a preÞx selected via the
MSR.
Extended opcode. A secondary opcode Þeld generally located in instruction
bits 21Ð30, that further deÞnes the instruction type. All PowerPC
instructions are one word in length. The most signiÞcant 6 bits of the
instruction are the primary opcode, identifying the type of
instruction.
See also Primary opcode.
Execution synchronization. A mechanism by which all instructions in
execution are architecturally complete before beginning execution
(appearing to begin execution) of the next instruction. Similar to
context synchronization but doesn't force the contents of the
instruction buffers to be deleted and refetched.
Exponent. In the binary representation of a ßoating-point number, the
exponent is the component that normally signiÞes the integer power
to which the value two is raised in determining the value of the
represented number. See also Biased exponent.
Fetch. Retrieving instructions from either the cache or main memory and
placing them into the instruction queue.
Fully-associative. Addressing scheme where every cache location (every
byte) can have any possible address.
General-purpose register (GPR). Any of the 32 registers in the
general-purpose register Þle. These registers provide the source
operands and destination results for all integer data manipulation
instructions. Integer load instructions move data from memory to
GPRs and store instructions move data from GPRs to memory.
Harvard architecture. An architectural model featuring separate caches for
instruction and data.
IEEE 754. A standard written by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers that deÞnes operations and representations of binary
ßoating-point arithmetic.
